Where to Go in June 2015 for Savings, Culture, and More

Travelers are a savvy bunch — they know that it’s better to visit certain destinations during certain months. But the prevailing question is: Where should I be booking trips right now? With that in mind, we’ve drummed up the smartest places you should be making plans for for June, whether you’re looking for shoulder season savings, an explosion of culture, or outdoor entertainment.

For Nature: Costa Rica
Despite what many might think, June is one of the best times of the year to visit this tropical destination. As we pointed out last year, yes, June is the beginning of rainy season — but that’s exactly when the greenery springs back up after a dry winter, and the hour or two of rain each day are a perfect excuse for a mid-afternoon siesta. Airfare has always been very affordable from North America. For a long weekend in the first half of the month, we’ve seen prices under $400 from Dallas, around $400 from New York City, and around $500 from Los Angeles. And it’s only getting easier to reach the destination. Southwest Airlines just started offering non-stop daily flights between Baltimore and San Jose earlier this month, with round-trip fares starting from around $450 in the same time frame. (It looks like rates nudge up in the second half of the month, likely in response to increased summer vacation travel, so the earlier you can get there, the better.) Once you get there, room rates are often slashed in half.

The deal: The Cayuga Collection, a number of small and sustainable luxuries, is offering a ton of third or fourth night free deals for “green season.” We especially love Finca Rosa Blanca, a resort situated on a 30-acre organic coffee plantation. Here, guests enjoy complimentary WiFi, full a la carte breakfast, afternoon coffee and cookies, and local and international calls from the room. Rates throughout the month start from $270 per night for a junior suite, but apply the third night free promo through June 19 and you’re looking at $180 per night. Compare that to high season prices of $320-$390. You can also join the Marriott Rewards Member program and enjoy rates from just $144 at the San Jose property. That’s 15 percent off already discounted season rates, plus free WiFi, daily breakfast, and $50 resort credit.
